I have never come over any ATMs with dollars in Tanzania. I have lived in Arusha for a year (2004/2006) and have been there off and on since. I seriously doubt you will find any such ATMs. The country is however flooded with ATMs, though the one at Kilimanjaro airport was in disrepair around two months ago, last time I passed through that airport. ATMs with Tanzanian shillings (tsh)are available in most towns and along major roads.

You can usually get prices in tanzanian shillings instead of dollars. Nobody are obliged to pay in dollars in Tanzania, although hotel owners and others may ask for dollars for many reasons.

It used to be like that, but I am sure not any more. Just checked with a friend of mine (tour operator) and they were quite sure.

The TANAPA (Tanzania National Parks) and many others also facilitate for payments using hand held VISA terminals.

There is an ATM at the airport in Kilimanjaro; I can't remember exactly if it gave me USD or local currency. i actually think it was USD as I had to pay for my visa in USD only on arrival. It as $100 at the time and did not have enough USD to cover it.

I haven't been to Arusha like @Kerwin, but I have been to quite a few places in Tanzania and have yet to find an ATM in the country that gives out USD. So, don't count on it, though there might be one or two tucked away somewhere.
